The Sims will be getting their Medieval groove on.

 
Well, this is something new. The Sims Medieval, due Spring 2011, will be sending the Sims back to Medieval times and giving them the chance to become heroes. Send your Sim on quests, build and control a kingdom, and create new stories involving drama, romance, conflict and comedy.

 
“The Middle Ages is a time of intrigue, legend, and excitement. It offers a perfect backdrop for a brand new series from The Sims studio due to the limitless stories that can be told,” said Scott Evans, General Manager of The Sims Studio at EA. “The Sims Medieval offers a new way for players to experience The Sims which we hope fans will enjoy, and it features gameplay that fans of strategy and role-playing games will find appealing such as controlling an entire kingdom and quest-based gameplay mechanics.”
